Non-transitive logics: a new approach to paradoxes
Thematic
A paradox is an apparently valid argument, with apparently true premises and an apparently false conclusion. Naturally, some such appearance must be misleading. Sometimes it is particularly difficult to question the truth of the premises or the falsity of the conclusion, so the only way out is to question the logic employed in the reasoning. This can be done in different ways. In a first approach, we can question some inference used in the course of reasoning. This strategy subject , however, is often accompanied by the cost of related inferences.
Generally an argument requires the employment of several steps to reach a conclusion from certain premises. A second strategy consists in the rejection, not of a particular inference, but of certain ways of combining inferenceswithin an argument. The present project aims to study the foundations, formulation possibilities and applications of a strategy of this second strategy subject. From agreement with this strategy, the logical consequence relation may not be transitive.
